gen parts compatibilty for a big pilot

[gavinh29]

Hi I have a 5002 big pilot i bought from trusty and I have already put on a gen brown buffalo strap with cream stitching which looks great. I was wondering if I could manage to get a genuine crown could it be fitted? Also the dial on my watch in my opinion looks really good but thats my novice opinion so would anyone be able to advise me whether this is a worthwile mod?? Also where could I obtain these if I wanted to?

Might be best not to research the accuracy of the 5002 so you don't become OCD but there are quite a few mods available. Just enjoy the watch as it is because chances are you will never be called out anyway.

Thanks for the reply,to be honest I don't actually know the accuracy of the rep I have never had a side by side comparison it, I only changed the strap as the rep strap didn't feel right and I am glad I changed it it makes a huge difference. Apart from that I am really pleased with the overall quality look and feel of the watch, and it manages to get the majority of wrist time

Sometimes it's best not to know the flaws then you will look at them all the time and want to do something about them. Best thing to do for now would be to move the pr needle to full and then you will pretty much have no one but a rep geek calling you out.

Thanks Craig, I will get the pr needle moved, the strap made a huge difference, I doubt that there are many flawless out of the box reps out there.
